Ok i have a grill on my 3.1 that bows out on the bottom.It was like this when i got it and maybe it was in a damp place or something at some point.
Here's my weird idea.Since it is so friggin hot i was thinking about laying some cardboard on my deck,laying the grill on it and weighing it down somehow and maybe it will relax in the heat and flatten out.
Thoughts?
Recommendations?
Ridicule?

    Sounds like a good plan, I'd recommend placing something like a wooden yardstick (crossways in the middle) under it to force a sight curve in the other direction.:wink:

    You should first determine if the material has swelled or if it actually bowed. If it has swelled, what you are proposing will not fix it. You would have to remove (sand and/or plane) the swell.
